Fishing Trawlers and Cape Size bulkers

Iskes is providing Port Towage services in the port of Ijmuiden since 1928. Berthing/unberthing operations and lock passage assistance are provided to a wide variety of vessels entering the port.

Vessels that are assisted include for instance Fishing trawlers calling the IJmuiden fish terminals, Cape size bulkers delivering iron ore or coal to the Corus steel plant or Handymax Tankers entering the IJmuiden locks inbound for one of the Amsterdam Oil terminals.

Towage service are provided with a modern tug fleet ranging upto 70 tons bollard pull.

Our tug masters and crew are well trained and often have a very long track record with our company. The tugs are manned 365/24 and therefore services can be delivered round the clock and on short notice.

Services are charged on the basis of a tariff per tug per assist where the tariff increases with the LOA of the assisted vessel. On our web page "Tariff & Calculator" a tool can be found that can calculate the towage charges for a particular vessel with a particular destination.

Related services such as personnel / equipment transfers to vessels at the anchorage can be arranged and in case an anchor is lost or let go at the IJmuiden anchorage, we can recover the anchor and return it to the vessel in port.
